THE STARS AND MAKERS OF "ONG-BAK" RETURN !
Wongkamlau himself stars as the eponymous bodyguard, Wongkom, who is fired from his post when his boss is assassinated. But when his former boss' son also becomes a target for the killers, he finds himself back in a job and on the trail of the mysterious assassins. The son, meanwhile, is forced to hide out in the city's slum area with a kind but constantly bickering family who agree to take him in. There, he sparks up a romantic relationship with the family's tomboy daughter, Pok (Pumwaree Yodkamol).
A balletic, ballistic, comedy stunt-fest, THE BODYGUARD begins with a bang and never lets up on the action. From its explosive opening shootout to its devastating kung fu showdown by way of several outrageous chase sequences (including a naked Wongkom on the run and the ingenious simultaneous destruction of four airborne BMW cars!), THE BODYGUARD is a must-see movie for all fans of action cinema.
